Eddi Reader - Peacetime lyrics
[Eddi Reader - Peacetime lyrics]
In peacetime when church bells ring
They scatter birds through hopeful skies
In summer fields a straw headed boy
With so much to find in peacetime
And in peacetime when fires burn
Gunpowder stars fill the eyes
Our shadows dance to flames wild song
And the dark is kind in peacetime
And in peacetime when lovers part
There is no fear in their goodbyes
Tomorrow's kiss each sour joy
Is on their minds in peacetime
And in peacetime when flowers bloom
They herald spring as winter flies
No hearts undone no mother's ache
For those left behind in peacetime
No hearts undone, no mother's ache
For those left behind in peacetime
In peacetime
They scatter birds through hopeful skies
In summer fields a straw headed boy
With so much to find in peacetime
And in peacetime when fires burn
Gunpowder stars fill the eyes
Our shadows dance to flames wild song
And the dark is kind in peacetime
And in peacetime when lovers part
There is no fear in their goodbyes
Tomorrow's kiss each sour joy
Is on their minds in peacetime
And in peacetime when flowers bloom
They herald spring as winter flies
No hearts undone no mother's ache
For those left behind in peacetime
No hearts undone, no mother's ache
For those left behind in peacetime
In peacetime
